China Says It’s ‘Too Late’ To Recall Huge Shipment of Turkeys - 70 Million Toxic Birds Sent to U.S. Last Week

@ 08:16 PM (24 months, 7 days ago)

This is one fowl conspiracy with some legs and wings.

Officials from a major food exporter in China apologized to American consumers today for shipping over 70 million poisonous turkeys to the U.S. early last week, but indicated that it was “too late” for a recall of their toxic food product.

A spokesman for the Wuhan Food Exportation Company said that while the company “deeply regretted” the shipment, the error was not discovered until Friday morning, making a recall of the birds “virtually impossible.”

“It would be problematic to recall such a massive shipment,” the spokesman said. “Those turkeys were sent to virtually every store in the U.S.”

At a press conference on Saturday to discuss what went wrong with the shipment of turkeys, Wuhan officials revealed that the birds had been fed an experimental combination of birdseed, lead pellets, and date-rape drugs.

“Going forward, we’re going to skip the lead pellets,” said Qiu Liangyong, the company’s public relations director.

In an attempt to regain the confidence of the American consumer, Qiu said that in the future all turkeys shipped to the U.S. would include a warning label, but under tough questioning from reporters he conceded that the label would be printed in Chinese.

At the conclusion of the press conference, Qiu indicated that he was “confident” that the company could regain U.S. consumers’ trust in time for the Christmas season: “We have 80 million delicious Christmas hams just waiting to be shipped.”

Good point Dugg. Before I ate any turkey I looked up it's ass for the made in the USA stamp and called Frank Perdue.

Fortunately you guys, me and no one I know suffered any adverse turkey effects. Seriously Ernie, you inspect turkey's ass stamps? Shouldn't you be at the driving range.

I would NEVER participate in any people ganging up on your Dugg and I consider you a friend and hope you feel the same way. You and I might not always disagree or agree, for example check out my Ron Paul post in the last few days. One of the things I especially like it the sharp reduction in foreign aid to all those America hating jackasses.
